The Magic Kings Podcast

Inspired by the news of the upcoming reimagining of the Carousel of Progress, The Great Big Beautiful Dads take a trip down memory lane and discuss some of our favorite things at Disney World that are no longer with us. Then we look into the crystal ball to see...what current WDW attractions could we be talking about as "gone but not forgotten" 20 years from now, and what could go in their place?

What are your favorite rides, shows, or anything else that used to exist at Disney World? What "gone but not forgotten" attraction would you bring back if you could?

Get in touch and let us know!

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a Walt Disney World Cast Member? Who hasn’t?!

We are thrilled to be joined by special guest Adam, a former Cast Member (and Team Member at Universal Orlando!).

We learn about what it’s like to work in Magic Kingdom, the training that Cast Members go through, and learn a few secrets along the way. How are the shelves in Disney stores so full?! Don’t they get tired of hearing the same song on the ride they’re working all day long?!
